"Lucky Duck"

LUCKY DUCK

Ugly duckling Serena runs away from her rustic barnyard to pursue her dreams in New Duck City. Her adventures with a bunch of zany characters, including Prince Drake, Galinda ("the most fashionable Goose in the City") and Wolf, a talent agent and reformed meat-eater (or is he?), take her from high-fashion runways to perilous performing opportunities. Even the happy ending is not exactly by the storybook.

An uproarious, ultra-modern adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Ugly Duckling."

Ideal for diversity, strong female leads.
